Winners for September 20th + Paying Kids to do Chores

Good morning everyone! Happy Friday to you all! The weekend is almost here! Do you have any fun weekend plans? Anything going on? I have to work this weekend but thankfully they are quickie jobs so hopefully I can do a lot of resting and regrouping this weekend.

Today’s Topic – Do you think parents should pay their children to do chores around the house or do you think children should do them just because it’s the right thing to do with no payment? Honestly, we used to give our daughter a $1.00 when she was young and as she got older we would increase her “chores” salary. By the time she was 15 she was getting $5.00 a week and at 17 she was getting $10.00 a week. My brother on the other hand demands that his children do a long list of chores and his boys don’t get chore money at all. In my opinion, I don’t think that there is a right or wrong way to do it. I see nothing wrong with giving them a little something and I don’t see anything wrong with giving them nothing too. Your thoughts?

We had a few giveaways close late last night so we do have winners to announce this morning. As always, we spend time every morning validating entries, trashing out the cheater entries and then randomly select a winner using random.org. We then double check that persons entry to make sure it’s legit and then finalize it.

Reese Bath Bombs Winner is… rochelle haynes
Thomas & Friends DVD Winner is… T.h.Ransom

Congratulations to both of our lucky winners! I will be emailing you both shortly. Have a great weekend everyone and it’s time to start getting ready for our 4th annual holiday gift guide which begins on October 1st. YAY!!!
